Now I can Play with the Big Toys

I've got an account at Global-Rent-A Scope now. This is a group that sell time on remote controlled telescopes, with a bunch of scopes in Australia. Of course, the Moon is so bright at the moment that imaging anything other than the Moon is a waste of time. To the left is a test picture done with their "point and click" telescope. When I get a bit of practise, I can do some nice comet imaging like Comet Al (and see his picture of Eta Carina).
